I am by no means a chili connoisseur, but I do love my chili. I think I inherited my love for chili from my daddy.
And just like my daddy, I love a hearty chili, not one where it's all soupy with just a few beans.

Look how hearty that chili is that my spoon stands up on its own!

Nope, I want my spoon to literally stand up straight in my chili. And your spoon will stand up straight in this Slow Cooker Vegan Sweet Potato & Carrot Chili.

This chili is hearty with all the flavorings of a meat chili, but without the meat.
It's full of Bush's black beans and pinto beans, chunks of sweet potato and carrots, barley, and quinoa, to name just a few of the ingredients.

Just like my vegan chile, I added cocoa powder to this one too. Because I love the rich flavor it brings to chili as it mixes with the other spices.

And if it’s not spicy enough for you, you can also add a little more heat to this chili by adding more chile powder or jalapeños.

My daddy is probably rolling over in his grave because I made a vegan chili (gasp!). He was a big meat lover.

But I'm sure if he was still with us, he would admit this chili is worth another bowl!
